Taurus Mountains (Toros Daglari)

Sweeping across southern Turkey in a majestic arc, the Taurus Mountains (Toros Dağları) span hundreds of miles, with jagged peaks that rise as high as 12,322 feet (3,756 meters). These mountains are home to ski resorts, historic villages, and rugged canyons, and they also house ancient cities and Turkey’s own Mt. Olympos. The range frames the Turkish Riviera, including popular resorts like Antalya and Alanya. Visitors can explore the diverse landscapes, from snow-capped summits to sun-drenched coastal areas, and immerse themselves in the rich history and natural beauty of the region.
